The Ben Hur hubcaps
« on: July 23, 2007 - 09:12:34 PM »
I used to have this type of hubcaps on my GC when it was still stock. Anybody else remember these heavyweight hubcaps on their car?

I didn't know they made them so long in production.  7-8 years?   So were they really a popular option then?

I have them on my 71 Challenger vert.   You can see them as an optional Hubcap on Challenger's on Barry's site, in the Options Lists.

I think the E-body ones were 14's, the 'doba ones are listed as 15's.
